New Year, New You: 5 Keys to Your Health Resolutions’ Success (Part 3) – Movement
Exercise and movement are fundamental to our health and well-being. Our bodies were meant to be in motion and not to stand still all the time.
Back in my parents’ day, they didn’t have to worry about movement because they were walking everywhere, cleaning often, or playing outside with their family members.
Sadly, this has changed in the name of industrialization and efficiency! We now have cars to take us places, the majority of our work can be done sitting at a computer, and we often socialize with people over sedentary activities.
By no means is any of this bad, but it has decreased the exercise and movement we get daily.
So to combat this, I’m giving you three quick tips below to improve your exercise and movement patterns in the New Year:
3 Tips To MOVE More this New Year
1.Consistency: Exercising and moving consistently is what will get you results in your health and fitness goals. This can be as easy as going for a walk three times a week or getting up every hour to stretch or walk the stairs. Whatever your overall movement and exercise goal is for the new year, focus on making it frequent and consistent! Try scheduling some time at the beginning of each week to plan ahead and schedule in your calendar what days you are going to exercise and for how long.
2.Variety: Our body is smart and will adapt to the stimulus we put on them. So try to mix up the exercises and type of exercise you do each week! Go walking one day, do weights the next day, go running/walking one day, etc! It will decrease the boredom and increase the results 🙂
3.Intensity: Intensity is something you want to include in each workout! High intensity for a short duration in a workout helps increase your fitness levels and your metabolism greatly! However, low intensity for a longer duration is also just as important to your overall fitness levels. An example of a high intensity workout could be where you incorporate intervals into your workout and say run for 1 minute, rest for 1 minute and do that 10 times. A lower intensity workout could be walking 3 miles at a steady pace, or running 3 miles at a steady pace – all depends on your fitness level.
